Title: "Revolution in Engineering Education: Creating a more inclusive and meaningful environment for students and faculty"

Abstract: With an NSF Revolutionizing Engineering and Computer Science Departments (RED) grant, the School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University seeks to create (1) a culture where everyone in the CBEE community feels valued and that they belong, and (2) to create a learning environment that prompts students and faculty to meaningfully connect curricular and co-curricular activities and experiences to each other and to professional practice. In this fourth year of the grant we are emphasizing embedding our learnings in the processes and routine practices of the School.

Summer Internships for Educators, SW Michigan, Kellogg Biological Station

KBS

KBS, in partnership with several departments, offers a wide variety of field-based summer courses that include important prerequisite courses in biology and ecology, plus advanced botany, grant writing, wetland ecology, and GIS. All students committed to courses at least 3 days/week receive 50% room & board support to stay at the station! Students can also apply for the KBS Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship (URA) Program and KBS Internship Program! These students pair a KBS summer course with a paid research or internship experience. Work hours accommodate the student's course schedule, and they work in close collaboration with a KBS mentor. Applications for the URA & Internship programs close March 1, 2019.

MSU Math Ed. Colloquium: Prof. Paul C. Dawkins, Northern Illinois University
02/19/2019 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
252 Erickson Hall MSU

This talk presents analysis of some of the ambiguities that arise among statements with the copular verb “is" in the mathematical language of textbooks as compared to day-to-day English language. We identify patterns in the construction and meaning of is statements using randomly selected examples from corpora representing the two linguistic registers. We categorize these examples according to the part of speech of the object word in the grammatical form “[subject] is [object].” In each such grammatical category, we compare the relative frequencies of the subcategories of logical relations conveyed by that construction.
